Have now received two more emails from my son although one says he will need me to take him shopping for more tuck when he comes home next weekend!

and on this subject.........

I can remember my late Mothers Father telling me that he had to call his Father SIR !!

In the US, especially in the southern States, many boys are still expected to call their fathers Sir.

I help at my 7 year-old's school and when I am there I tell her to call me "Mrs S...." ; she responds by doing so, whilst tugging her forelock! Cheeky moo.

My Mum went back to work as a school nurse after my sister started school, by which time I had gone to CH, but she used to amuse us with an imitation of my brother's expression when she turned up as the 'nit-nurse'.
